Chapter Ninety-Five: Seizure of Power
When the thieves dispersed, Zhao Ji was led by Su Huaizong and protected by twelve guards, and walked towards the imperial city step by step. At this time www.biquge.info the sky was slowly darkening, and under the sunset, all the sergeants were tired of hurrying on the road, and Zhao Ji was walking with great difficulty, completely unable to keep his spirits up. After walking for about half an hour, the forbidden army behind him still had no news, which made Zhao Ji and Pang He feel very strange, where did the huge army go, and how could it still be reached? . In front, the faint light of two rows of seemingly torches ignited the afterglow of dusk, and when I got closer, it was none other than the third son of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.
When Zhao Kai saw his father Huizong, he immediately dismounted and greeted: "The son of the minister visited his father, the son of the son was late to save the driver, and he forgot his father to atone for his sins!"
Zhao Ji put his old tears and said, "Kai'er, get up, my father doesn't blame you." You are so well-behaved, how can my father blame you?"
Zhao Kai got up, helped Huizong onto his horse, and walked towards the imperial city.
Pang He walked on the road and felt that this matter was very strange. First, how could Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, know that Song Huizong Zhao Ji was here. It stands to reason that no one will know about the temporary lane change. If the purpose of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was not to save his father, it means that he came here according to a certain plan. Then this plan must be related to Gao Yu and Cai Jing. From the perspective of such a big deal as an ambush, the purpose of this plan should be related to imperial power, and the appearance of Zhao Kai fully illustrates this problem. As long as Song Huizong dies, the handover on the way may be the prince by his side. Because Zhao Kai is not the crown prince, it is very possible to seize power. Moreover, colluding with Jin Bing to carry out this series of plans in such a coordinated manner is not the identity of a prince, and it is indeed difficult to do. For Gao Yu and Cai Jing, it is a very wonderful thing to support an emperor of their own, unlike the prince, it is a matter of course for the prince to be the emperor. So, under normal circumstances, I will never go out of my way to thank you. Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is different, he was born to Su Guifei, the third son of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and is quite popular with Huizong. It's a pity that he was not born to the queen, nor was he the eldest son of the emperor, so the battle for the throne fell behind. What's more, the crown prince Zhao Huan did not appreciate Cai Jing's party, and was even hostile. This also made Cai Jing have to let go and fight, so that he could continue to be deeply favored by the emperor in the future and still be his own minister. In this way, each side takes what it needs, and a series of plans begin. Cai Jing and Gao Yu wanted to create some accidents through autumn hunting and create opportunities for their emperor Zhao Kai. If the ambush is successful and Song Huizong is half dead, then Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who comes, will be the most likely person to accept the throne. If Song Huizong still has no intention of passing on the throne to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, then he can let Huizong Zhao Ji leave this world forever, and when the time comes, he can take over the army and falsely pass on the holy decree, and he can successfully ascend the throne. Even if there are still people in the imperial city to protect the crown prince Zhao Huan, then they can use the power of the forbidden army to destroy all the resistance forces in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that there are no ifs for everything. Song Huizong had a dream, and there was a sign in the dream, Zhao Ji, who was worried that he would die in this autumn hunt, quickly found Zhou Dong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army who rescued him in the dream. Coupled with Zhou Dong's senior brother Jin Tai and his apprentice, he destroyed this originally perfect plan and inadvertently rescued himself.
However, there is one thing that Pang He can't understand, that is, why the mysterious ten swordsmen disappeared, is it related to the forbidden army, and the reason why the forbidden army has not come to this convergence for a long time will have something to do with the disappeared swordsmen. If the swordsman arranged to prevent the forbidden army from joining Huizong, then why, Gao Yu brought these ten people with him? However, dealing with Lu Zhongming is indeed a good move, and if he dies, it will always become a secret, but it is a pity that this Chongyun first seat got on the thief ship, but he couldn't get off, and finally died.
After the convergence, the people and horses slowly marched towards the imperial city, and the sad Song Huizong Zhao Ji had an innocent, anxious and frightened expression, did he still muttered a few words to himself. Approaching the palace, another herald came to report: "Report to the emperor, the golden soldiers have retreated!"
At this time, Huizong Zhao Ji, the big stone in his heart finally fell, and after tossing a little, Zhao Ji let out a long breath: "It's finally over"
Back in the main hall, Zhao Ji dismissed the ministers who accompanied him: "I'm tired, rest first, you guys go first!"
The emperor had already spoken, and the ministers didn't say much, they looked at Huizong on the dragon chair worriedly, and slowly moved their feet away with a worried face. Then, Zhao Ji said to the remaining twelve guards: "Qi guards, you can also take your people away!"
In a huge palace, only Pang He's fake guards and two old eunuchs remained, and soon, the old eunuchs were also separated.
Pang He looked at the haggard Huizong and understood that Huizong had something to say, as for what matter, after taking it with Huizong and entering a laughing room, Huizong asked these people to take off their masks and sit down to talk.
At this time, Zhou Tong pouted and knelt in front of Huizong, and Jintai and Lin Chong also knelt down one after another. When Pang He saw it, he also quickly knelt down, and Shi Wen saw that he knelt down, and he knelt down very cooperatively.
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly called everyone up: "Aiqing, please get up, why are you doing this?"
Jintai replied: "Return to the emperor, the ministers are guilty." When the emperor was in ambush, the minister did not try his best to break through, and asked the emperor to forgive him!"
Zhou Tong continued: "The minister is guilty, the minister just wanted to see what kind of plan those thieves had, and he didn't care about the emperor, let the emperor get out of danger as soon as possible, and ask the emperor to forgive him!"
Zhao Ji replied with a tired smile: "If it weren't for love, how could I stand here well, if it wasn't for the full protection of all Aiqing, whether I came back alive or not would still be a question, how could I blame it? As for suffering, since I have decided to go on this autumn hunt, I am also ready to endure a certain amount of suffering. I am the Son of Heaven, if I can't even endure this bit of suffering, then what face do I have to be the king of this country. ”
"Thank you, Emperor!" everyone shouted in unison.
Zhao Ji sat back in his place, looked at the candlelight, looked at the five people again, and smiled bitterly.
At this time, Pang He seemed to be sad, this Song Huizong seemed to be a little helpless, with a little grievance, and was a pampered man on the throne!
